You are way off base in a few places, let me see if I can clarify a bit.
Here are at least 2 pointers:
1) The release tarballs do not come with bootstrap because they already are
bootstrapped.
2) FreeSWITCH does not depend on system libs so all the stuff about apr is
barking up the wrong tree.
we build our own apr and apr-utils
I suggest you try latest svn trunk of FS and follow the BSD build guidelines
on the WIKI since you say
it's closely compatible.
